Before
By her late 60s, the patient had several missing teeth that affected how full her smile looked. When she smiled, the lack of tooth support made her lips and lower face appear less supported, which also made her feel more conscious about smiling openly.
Her concern was not only about replacing the missing teeth. She wanted a denture that could bring back a fuller smile, support her facial appearance and still look suitable for her age and natural features.
After
After the denture was fitted, the missing teeth were no longer the first thing people would notice when she smiled. Her smile looked fuller, with better support around the mouth where the lips had looked less supported before.
The denture teeth were selected with a natural-looking size and shade, so they blended better with her overall smile. With the gaps filled and lip support improved, her smile looked more balanced and she appeared more comfortable smiling again.
What’s the Secret?
A denture should replace missing teeth while still supporting the smile, bite and lips naturally.
For this case, Dr Elaine Lim planned the denture based on the patient’s missing teeth condition and facial support needs. During consultation at dental clinic Sri Petaling, patients can check whether removable dentures are suitable for them.
If missing teeth are affecting your smile or daily comfort, you may contact Dr Elaine Lim to arrange an appointment.
